Broad tidal mudflats are most likely to occur along coasts with gentle slopes and low topography because these areas have less wave energy and the sediment can accumulate instead of being dispersed by wave action. Additionally, the low topography allows for the formation of shallow, sheltered bays where mudflats can form.
